I observe that the Senator from Tennessee is strongly in favor of restriction. but is of opinion that this bill does not sufficiently restrict immigration. I -was wondering whether he would. therefore. support the amendment I have offered to change "2 per cent" to "1 per cent." That. under the figures here. will reduce the quota to 120.000. whereas the proposition which the Senator is advocating will reduce it to only 169.000. My amendment proposes 1 per cent on the basis of 1910. That. according to these figures which the Senator has and which I have. would reduce the quota to 120.000. lower than the proposition he advocates.
